Mattress & Bed Sizes
|
 |
Within this
online guide we provide tips to consider and complete sizes for US, UK, EU & Australian standard bed sizes.
Bed & mattress sizes are measured by the width & length of the bed. Standard
bed sizes vary based on the geographical region and often non standard sizes are
also sold so you should always verify the standard mattress measurement based on the actual bed frame size.
The most common bed mattress sizes are twin, full, queen, king & california king.
Most countries have a standard set of four sizes, with additional less common
variations. The double size bed frame is
similar among English speaking countries while the twin, queen & king
size beds vary. The United States mattress bed sizes are larger in comparison to the
UK bed sizes.
The following dimensions & measurements are for the mattress. The corresponding bed
frame will be slightly larger to support the mattress.
